Jerk House Eatery Beer & Wine 25 University Boulevard West, Silver Spring, MD 20901

"The lounge where you can sit down and eat was not available for some reason the day I went. The esthetics were nice, and I think it would be a nice place to grab a bite to eat when it gets warmer. The service was good and did not have any complaints. I got the curry goat combo with rice and peas and plantains. It was solid, nothing to write home about, tho. The jerk pork combo with rice and peas and plantains was ok. I think the pork is sliced a little too thick in my onion. The rice and peas were solid, and so were the plantains surprising. Normally, they don't like the way they do plantains at Jamaican places cause I prefer the way nigerians make it where it's sliced thinner. Also got the jerk wings and they were delicious, would definitely recommend them for sure. Also, the feel of this place kinda has a budget liqour store vibe as well. They also have red stripe as well. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend it."

"I ate there a couple times tried the Mac and cheese, plantain and oxtail. I am a big fan of Jamaican food and its something I've always enjoyed but the food served here tasted like it was cooked in water and nothing else. Half way through eating it I started to question how expensive seasoning could really be. A friend of mine had went to pick up my order for me and what she reported back was rude customers service and an a overall creepy atmosphere for female customers. To make matter worse I had to add seasoning to my Mac and Cheese and put it inside the air fryer to get a bit of taste. You can always tell when something is authentic and when its not and this food tasted not only sour but partially expired and this was not my first time eating at this place. If I could give this zero stars I would trust me. Don't get me wrong the food used to be bearable and that's why I continued to go but its lost its soul and now tastes like greedy poison. Frankly not worth putting up with the creepy environment created by male employees for water down food in my opinion . My friend who lives in the area and usually gets my food has expressed so much concern that she also told other family members to not go to this establishment. Talking with her yesterday and today has made me quite upset so bare with me and if you are a women you would understand just what I mean. I wanted to give it a chance but its a strong 0/10."

"This place is awesome!!! Me and my husband live in the area and tried this place for the first time today. The restaurant is owned by a Jamaican native who is kind and very personable! The food was delicious and truly authentic. The portions are also pretty sizable for each platter and could honestly feed two per. The beef patty was especially good. All in all we were satisfied and hope to return soon. Thank you all for wonderful service!"

"Went here tonight and the food was delicious. I got the jerk chicken (white meat), rice and peas, coco bread, and jerk wings. Very flavorful, had a nice kick, and a great price. The atmosphere was nice, good music, and a heated area to sit and eat. Ordered my food, it only took about 10 minutes to get, it was hot, and bought to the table. The owner was amazing and made sure that everything was perfect. Definitely recommend and I will be back!"
